Geometry setting for HP/UX
v19960522
Changed auto array in codepage to malloc'ed one in order to

Bus strike in Grenoble! Well, let's do something useful and
re-arrange the configuration file syntax :-)
The syntax has become much more flexible now, and also
includes items which used to be only accessible via
environmental variables.
Moreover, it is now possible to include character translation
tables in line.
v19951126
Fixed another Atari disk bug: Atari disks sport a bogus
"number of hidden sectors"
v19951125
Fixed missing zero-terminator in autorenamed long names
MTOOLS_SKIP_CHECK now implies MTOOLS_FAT_COMPATIBILITY.
v19951124
Fixed small quoted-printable-induced typo in the Makefile.
<rant>
Folks, please don't use quoted-printable. It sometimes changes
the CONTENT of your messages. Even the MIME RFC's acknowledge this.
Case in point: £400 gets transformed into =A3400, which looks
like 3400 pounds to a person unaware of this MIME "feature".
</rant>
v19951123
Mformat now puts a 12 bit FAT on ED to better match Messy DOS'
behavior.
v19951115
Added ability to do mcopy e: to copy all files from the root
directory of e:

begins with 3 zero bytes.
Make the check of the initial fat bytes conditional on

Manpage update
2m checksum bug fix
Ability to mformat 2m disks
v19951107
Xdf bug fix (dev parameters always set to Xdf, even if it

Fixed YAHB (yet another hash table bug :) ) . Hope this one's
the last.
Centralizing most env-var handling.
Update of the mtools manpage.
Xdf is now optional, and only active if MTOOLS_USE_XDF is
set. Saves a few milliseconds of startup time on non Xdf
disks.
Some lawyer-proofing, just in case :)
v19951106
Fast xdf code (finally!)
Minor performance enhancements here and there.
Names which are all lower case now generate a long name entry
(according to Steve Searle, that's how Win'95 behaves).
v19951029
Character translation table fixes. Other name fixes.
v19951026
Put restrictions on long names to better match Win'95.
(suggested by Steve Searle)
Reworked autorename code. Catch SIGHUP signal
Added missing file close to main loop
Changed name of the "ask for action" command line flag to 'm',
and used 'a' for 'Autorename'.

Removed infinite loop bug in hash.c, which occurred when the
hash table was filled with deleted entries.
v19951023
added Atari ST-style serial numbers (they live in the banner)
fixed a troff bug in mtools.1
Both changes were suggested by D. Hugh Redelmeier (hugh@mimosa.com)
v19950916
v2.5.3 released (after lots of fixes)
v19950904
v2.5.2 released
v19950904
mdir.c: initialized "files" and "blocks" to avoid complaint by GCC
mattrib.c: initialized "code" to avoid complaint by GCC
v19950904
Based on comments by Paul Slootman <paul@ahwau.ahold.nl>:
init.c: fs_init(): initialized disk_size to 0. The section
which previously initialized this is ifdef'd out. Why?
Makefile, device.c: Passed ETCDIR (e.g. /etc or /etc/default)
Gee, the Makefile is pretty ugly! It might be good to start
thinking about autoconfigure, or at least some cleanup.
Makefile, mformat.c: use -DSOLARIS2, use srand48()/rand48()
msdos.h, file.c, mdir.c: prefixed YEAR/MONTH/DAY/HOUR/MINUTE/
SEC with DOS_ to avoid conflicts with <sys/time.h> on SVR4
devices.c: use %i instead of %d to allow different bases
parse.c: Changed comment for get_name()/get_path(); need to
revisit this after deciding on default case behavior
devices.c: load_devices(): fixed bad fprintf, line 748
parse.c, mformat.c, misc.c: replaced expressions like
"if (islower(foo)) foo=toupper(foo)" with "foo=toupper(foo)"
v19950829
v2.5.1 released
v19950829
Based on comments by Martin Kraemer <Martin.Kraemer@mch.sni.de>:
Bug fixes for compile errors and core dumps under SINIX-D 5.41
(Siemens SVR4):
plain_io.c
mk_direntry.c
vfat.h
v19950822 v2.5 released
v19950820 DCN
Change null-fill for unused remainder of VSE to 0xff fill for
both upper and lower character (just one null for termination)
This seems to better match Win95's behavior; Win95 had been
complaining about bogus characters
file_name.c: unicode_write()
v19950820 DCN
Commented out enforcement of VSEs being in order. Win95 likes
to put them exactly backwards, so we'd better tolerate getting
them any way they might come! Not sure what is lost by losing
these checks, but it seems to be OK.
directory.c: dir_read()
